Manchester United will enjoy some much-needed breathing space over the next fortnight, allowing a number of injured players to recover before their Premier League return.
The Reds' medical list expanded further on Saturday, when Benjamin Sesko, Casemiro and Harry Maguire were all forced of the field with concerns during United's 2-2 stalemate with Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Kobbie Mainoo missed the matchday squad altogether in a surprising state of affairs.
With a two-week lull in top flight action for Ruben Amorim's side due to the November international break, the Manchester Evening News breaks down United's current injury list, as well as potential return dates for those who are currently waiting in the wings with hopes of being fit to take on Everton come November 24.
Benjamin Sesko
Sesko was substituted for Noussair Mazraoui 59 minutes into United's draw with Spurs on Saturday, spotted limping off the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with a suspected knee injury.
Speaking after the match, Amorim said: "We have to see but I think he has a problem," while speaking to TNT Sports. The Manchester Evening News understands that he will miss Slovenia's World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Sweden this month and will continue to be monitored at Carrington and his problem isn't too severe.
Potential return date: Unknown
Casemiro

Casemiro was also substituted off for Manuel Ugarte a little over 10 minutes after Sesko made way for Mazroui, with Amorim appearing to suggest that he was unable to continue due to a problem. As Amorim hasn't said too much about the seasoned veteran, his removal from the match may not be too much cause for concern.
Potential return date: November 24 against Everton (H)
Harry Maguire
Maguire, meanwhile, was taken off at the same stage as Casemiro due to a suspected hamstring issue, and was replaced by Leny Yoro for the final 20 minutes of the match. Speaking after the game, Amorim said: "With everything that happened, Harry has to come out, Casemiro has to come out and Ben."
It is however suggested that Maguire's issue is not too serious, and he could make a return for United's clash with Everton at the end of the month.

Mainoo was not included in Amorim's matchday squad against Tottenham, and wasn't spotted joining his team-mates on the train down to the English capital on Friday evening. As per The Athletic, it was a minor injury which prevented him from taking part in the fixture, meaning he should be fine to play when Premier League action returns.
Potential return date: November 24 against Everton (H)
Lisandro Martinez
United fans have had a lengthy wait to see the return of Martinez, given he has been out of action since sustaining a serious knee injury back in February. However, he has since returned to training at Carrington, and reports suggest that he has even been granted permission to train with Argentina during the international break to build match fitness.
It could still be a little too soon for him to feature competitively, however, especially with Amorim citing how the centre-half is 'going to take time' before he is match ready.
Potential return date: Unknown
